5.00There is no better way to spend a sunny afternoon in San Diego than to go sailing. Captain Ann did a great job in making everyone comfortable. She handled the boat in a very professional manner. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable time, just what's needed after a long work week.

5.00We have always wanted to go sailing and when in San Diego what better place to have your first sailing than San Diego Bay! We booked the afternoon sailing on March 16. We were given very good directions about where and when to arrive. Our trip was unforgettable! Captain Colin gave us good information and encouraged us to get on the bow to enjoy the serenity there. We were lucky enough to have a pretty active Navy showing as well and loved that part of the experience. Colin is very friendly and his boat is nice, clean and very comfortable. What I didn’t expect for a first timer was how relaxing and peaceful it was. It was really better than I ever dreamed and left us longing to do it again. We cannot recommend him and this trip enough.
Gorgeous day on the water

Captain Ann! She made it a GREAT sail day outing!

5.00This was a fantastic personalized sail with just a few of our new friends and an amazingly knowledgeable Captain Ann Auwerda. If anyone of us saw something like dolphins, Ann would shift the sails and get us right there close up to enjoy the beauty.
Amazing day on the water!

5.00Our sailing trip on Wine Down was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, everything was perfect. Captain Colin was fabulous - professional, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience fun. He took us to see some beautiful sites around the bay. The vibe was peaceful, the scenery was stunning, and the whole trip was the perfect way to spend our last day in San Diego. We can’t wait to come back and do it again!
